A man comes into your house. His 2-year old is in a baby carrier on his chest. He has a gun and is firing at you. Your wife and 5 year old son are behind you on the couch, and you have a gun too.

Do you shoot back?

Did you just hesitate? A bullet just scraped your wife on the side of the leg. Hesitated again? Son just got a bullet in his arm.

You fire three bullets. The baby is dead and so is the intruder.

Are you in the wrong here?

I'm not saying this is the same as what's happening in Israel and Gaza. But "always wrong", like many views on this conflict, is sorely lacking in nuance.

With thousands of Israelis and tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, ignoring nuance is disrespectful to their memories and will not lead to realistic progress.

And what if there are no retraction? only if the backlash is big enough? Like in the case where there were no hundreds of dead in a direct bombing but a 50 dead in a failed PIJ rocked on hospital:

The world is so focused on Israel that forget the rest.
You'd might want to watch some arabic al jazeera. While Al Jazeera English pushes s the progressive post-colonialist narrative in the United States, Al Jazeera Arabic gears the Middle East for a war by pushing a Muslim Brotherhood idea of a Sharia state, Salafism and Jihad.

Both have the same aim, just as Qatar Airways sponsor your flights with oil money so you might fly through Qatar, Al Jazeera pays journalists so they can push Qatar's narratives to Western or Arabic audience. This is highly similar to RT in intent.

Looking from Israel standpoint, it's a news outlet that pushes your enemies propaganda arm videos unfiltered and also uses it to radicalize part of your population
There absolutely are restrictions. No journalists are allowed in Gaza, which is at odds with almost every other conflict in the past hundred years.

The stated reason is "to keep journalists safe". But journalists have risked their lives in many conflicts to bring the news to people, its their choice to risk their life or not. Unless one were to believe that all journalists biased against israel, there is no reason to restrict all journalists. Why not let in Christiane Amanpour, or many other western trained and western paid journalists?

Almost every news agency got this wrong to some degree [1]. What matters is whether they corrected their story as new information arose.

The entire point was that you meet the hiring manager via personal referral and not by running the gauntlet.

Otherwise, yes, it’s tautological.
Everyone’s pro-death and some point, or we cover Everest in escalators. It’s all where the line between allowable risk and unacceptable risk is drawn.
Or the footpath is so little used that extra safety provided by the clear zone is greater than the extra safety to pedestrians from having the barrier next to the road.

Safety is often about statistics rather than being 100% perfect. I used to work in a sawmill where occasionally logs would fly off the machines and crash through walkways. The solution was requiring workers using the walkways to never loiter there so the odds of having a person there at the time a log hit it were reduced.

By the way, it's funny you said "inside" and the article said "outside". Thinking as a pedestrian, I considered "inside" means next to the bushes like how you used it. But if you're thinking in terms of the road/cars, that would be the outside.
This is a question I've been asking myself, the future looks wet.
I have had a similar path in the past, I've started with some Raspi 1, than suffer their little horsepower, tried a minipc then suffer it's limited expandability than I switch to an assembled desktop rackmounted as a short-depth 5U. Intel in my case, but that's is.

In the end modern iron eat not too much energy, do not produce too much heat, is not super cheap, but compared to modern raspi and co prices and their spec... It's worth the investment AND we damn need homeservers in this dark uncivilized modern mainframe world.

The next real issues are:

- having IPv6 with a global per host, to ease connections;

- ready made services, for instance we have a handful self-hosted VoIP solution NO ONE OF THEM easy to deploy, with many dependencies and poor results, and no I'm not talking about Big Blue Button but simple WebRTC apps, services for IoT, meaning hw using open protocols (MQTT, the old ModBUS, Kafka, Matter, CoIoT etc) with something possibly more manageable than Home Assistant or OpenHAB;

- get people to the idea that's the time to have a homeserver per home, for their own services and internal needs.
Remember the phrase "HR is not your friend?"

HR is also a hilariously complex set of rules and bullshit that isn't that easy to manage in large organizations. Separating out DEI specifically from HR allows companies and organizations the ability to have employees ensure that the obligations of companies regarding their legal obligation towards discrimination laws are met without interfering with core HR functions. Companies haven't been adopting DEI out of the goodness of their hearts. There's a direct financial advantage when you can prove to a court that you have provided direction on issues regarding diversity. It's just a collection of CYA, and their DEI statements are an extension of that.

For the record, zebras are some of last animals you'd expect to see in a petting zoo. They are actively unfriendly. The San Diego Zoo lets you interact with rhinos and cheetahs more than zebras.
Just put enough speed cameras, they are much cheaper than any human police guys in long run, can watch 24/7 things like red lights, stops, seat belts, using of phones while driving etc. They can be even connected together for those a-holes who slow down in front of them just go enter again lightspeed right after, its not rocket science in 2024 and all required tech is there for decade and a half.

Here in Switzerland even foreigners have their cheeks so tight on the roads even sharpened hair wouldn't cross, they behave like angels and traffic is generally well behaved. And when they don't, punishment is heavy and it doesn't matter how many millions you have on your account or whom you know.

Same here. I enjoyed Traefik for being able to use docker tags for my reverse proxy configuration. The mechanism is great, however I did not like Traefiks internal config structure. Caddy is much easier for me to understand and matches my (small scale) use cases much better. Using Caddy via Docker labels through caddy-docker-proxy is about as perfect as it gets (for me).
Dysdera Crocata is a spider literally evolved around killing and eating roly-poly. As they need to pierce the roly-poly's exoskeleton, their bite is painful (but harmless) for humans.

When there's enough transmitted power, everything turns into a receiver. Besides the infamous tooth fillings mentioned, and the demonstration videos shown around here at the antenna, there's been plenty other reports of things like bedsprings, pipes, and fences converting AM broadcasts into sound.
Interestingly, the OpenStreetMap project considers road signage to be unquestionable "ground truth". If the sign changes, the map changes. We can't use any other database because that might not be available under a compatible licence.

Flexible markers (which aren’t even attempting to be bollards, to be clear) are usually a step up from a simple painted line and often recommended by fire departments and other emergency personnel as they can ignore them with their equipment.

Discovering that request surprised me, it strikes me as pragmatic and forward thinking; it also suggests that Qatar is rather keen to accede to US requests. Has that US policy changed now? If so I would have expected Qatar to expel.
I built a full-stack JS framework [1] that I thought would be a hit. As best as I can tell, because it lacks the complexity/word salad of existing solutions, it's mostly been ignored despite being (imo) an elegant solution to a long-standing problem.

Just a point about Al Jazeera that is worth mentioning. There are two Al Jazeeras. One which is presented to Western audiences and one which is presented to Middle-Eastern audiences. The media and articles are politically aligned in each region. Don't assume what you read in the US/UK/wherever is the same as over there.

In the case of Israel, the Middle-Eastern unit were literally showing videos demanding further uprising against Israel across the region directly from Hamas. Also the entire point of Al Jazeera was for Qatar to provide political influence through media, not as an unbiased news agency.

It's even banned in some Arab countries for being a security risk.

Why would you allow that to continue in your country?
Maybe not the same, but I find Red lang ( https://www.red-lang.org/), Rebol like language, somewhat similar in spirit.
Super anecdotal but I’ve also found this to be true. They usually look 5 or so years younger than I’d expect.

But I also think it’s like any diet - you could eat a vegan diet that’s just processed garbage and you’ll look horrible at the end of it. There’s nuance to this point that most discussions leave out.

A proper speed limit is not just a number on a sign. You can add curves, change the surface material, road width, etc. Not much policing required.
I miss Windows Phone. It was fast, did what I needed, and was easy to use one-handed. The Nokia hardware was good (especially the camera, for the time), except the plastic case & screen collected scratches like crazy.

I would have had no problem paying more for a premium metal & glass case for it.
Most tenants are judgement proof, so there is no legal remedy. That is to say, there is no legal recourse and compensation avenue available. landlords are lucky if they can get possession of their property back intact.

However, I agree that this is a distinct topic than no-cause eviction. The two intersect in that cash for keys is a common remedy for both situations.

I think there are valid practical arguments that can be made for legally barring no-cause evictions or extending notice.

The main point I was attempting to debate was the reasonableness of demanding cash-for-keys under a legal framework that explicitly allows no-cause eviction, and both parties have contractually agreed to no-fault eviction (and no-fault move out).

This is largely because I believe in honoring my commitments, even if I could profit through breaking them or lying.
"Phenomenon" just means "thing that can be observed". It doesn't need to mean something that is unusual or surprising.
The exact same dynamic used to happen with Word templates, and I'm sure there were something similar before it.

Then entire idea of a resume is garbage, the thing is useless for filtering candidates, and everybody that actually succeeds at either side of the hiring game does it by not relying on resumes. Yet hiring professionals insist this is the way, worldwide.
There are old cannons that have been used as bollards:

https://westevan.org/bollards/cannonbollards3.htm

> The one on the right is a real cannon outside the main gate into the original Chatham Dockyard. It is one of a pair (see the gateway photograph in the gallery below). It had been one of the Royal Navy's biggest smooth-bore muzzle-loading (SBML) guns but when it was no longer fit to be used on a warship it was buried breech-down to protect the brickwork of the gatehouse from damage by carts and other vehicles. The muzzle of this one has been sealed off with a cross-shaped piece of iron.

You can also see them as mooring bollards in harbours around the world.

This problem seems easily solvable. Just use the last part for resolution. E commerce shops use slug ids which always carry meaning in URLs for SEO and UX purposes.

So there are constantly URLs that if full url path was used they wouldn't resolve to anything.

But you juat the product id part only and then either redirect to new categories or you keep the same URL. Up to you.

I feel like all cases are teally solvable and slug ids or ids with meaning are actually great.

So I am talking about URLs like /electronics/smartphones/apple-iphone-blue-32gb etc.

This is very good for UX and usability as well.

'Freedom of speech' as a topic is interesting to HN and has an obvious Information Technology angle. It is probably the one that skirts the edge the most though.
checking for an overlong input is off the critical path, so latency is irrelevant. (tfa doesn't appear to use a branch—it should use a branch)
How can we still continue to call Israel a liberal society when their entire political class is banning and censoring opposition media? Interfaith marriages are illegal. Gay marriage is illegal (not unusual for the region, but since Israel likes to trot out the rainbow flags it bears repeating). It's the thinnest possible vaneer of "western values" slapped over a colonial military outpost.
India pays a lot of money to Russia for oil, it doesn't make them a belligerent. China also has close ties, but arguably they've refrained from arming Russia.

Are missiles coming out of Qatar? Are they even supplying arms to Hamas, or do they simply fund the civilian portions of the government?

It's unfortunate that in pop culture, Turing gets all the credit. Even the fairly recent movie doesn't do the justice.
>> the whole point of bollards is to stop cars from killing pedestrians

Except all those bollards that have nothing to do with pedestrians. Many are there to prevent cars deliberately accessing protected areas with absolutely zero thought about stopping a crashing vehicle. The most common use of bollards is to stop vehicles from parking where they shouldn't. Some bollards are even soft so that they can be driven over without damage to either party.

Is it actually valid? W3C's HTML validator complains about invalid nesting.

It might work because the HTML5 parsing algorithm produces well-defined results for broken HTML, but I'm not sure that's the same as "perfectly valid" – the spec calls such markup "misnested" and "erroneous" [0].

In my fantasy world, they would rethink and rearchitect their software stack so that it is secure by default. And when you want to relax some security setting there is auditable approval process.

In reality I am not holding my breath. Microsoft equals zero security in my mind.
You're running all your flat's power through that $14 Chinese rubbish and never assumed that shortcuts were taken or quality would be an issue? How do you know it will continue to function as a circuit breaker and isn't just a piece of wire inside?

> DEI statements are important because they show individual awareness of historical inequities and current biases that form modern society.

Even assuming that’s true, what is the rationale for plucking that issue out of the various ones facing society and demanding that professors express concern about it? Forcing people to characterize something as a priority is itself quite an ideological imposition.
I am just pointing out that Israel isn't planning on agreeing to a ceasefire anytime soon. They'll probably need to have new elections.
The study is not about shared origins. Everyone knows that many stories have shared origins. To know this, one just has to analyze the historical texts and development of certain stories during the last hundreds of years.

The Babylonian confusion was common sense for the last 1000-2000 years.

The study is about claiming some specific stories are definitely 6000 years old just because some shady analysis based on nothing but thin air.

Historical linguistics works with non-existent languages. Making assumptions about a non-existent language is one thing, but claiming to know both the time when those languages were spoken and the stories that were told is pure hybris (Lyle Campbell and Paul Heggarty refuse to believe in so-called glossochronology).

The entire field of historical linguistics is pure speculation without any hard evidence. It is impossible to know languages that do not exist anymore or have no written sources.

The Australian linguist Robert Dixon rightfully said that the proponents of far-reaching linguistic affinities undercut the level of what constitutes good science “to the point of nonsense”. He explains that languages can not be reconstructed.

It’s a typical classical gentrification problem.

People move in to areas that are famous for their grubby nightlife and “liveliness” only to then whine and protest about the nightlife and associated noise. Not moving there in the first place never crosses their minds.

It’s a wonderful hodgepodge of bars, restaurants, clubs, queer life, sex clubs, prostitution and general seediness. May it remain so.
> its a deliberate attempt to dehumanize jews. there is no systematic erasure of a culture or ethnicity

Israel is being investigated by the ICJ. Calling its war genocide is premature. But rejecting the claim outright is unfounded as well.
It’s possible to reduce the size of the fire trucks, too. Not every ladder truck needs to be a full double-steered classic hook and ladder; modern extension trucks can be relatively compact.

Amusingly enough around here the widest streets are the oldest; because they were wide enough to turn a wagon and a team of horses. Some of the newest streets are quite narrow - a truck can go down them easily enough but turning around would involve a driveway.

> That said, Dawkins has in more recent years found himself opposing identity politics as they seek to change language usage and perceptions of gender.

Correction: Dawkins doesn't care one whit about gender, and he has literally said so. He only cares when people cross into talking about sex, make incorrect claims about the nature of sex (spectrums and such), conflate sex with gender, and make unscientific claims about being able to change one's sex. Basically, when they enter his wheelhouse and start making a confusing mess of things.
IMO simplicity was what sold iPhones to the world. People love simplicity, but they need to be sure that they paid for quality simplicity. So simplicity must be accompanied by something that makes it look not cheap.
